Web content is revolutionizing business. Web content is revolutionizing life. Web content is revolutionizing the World.

 

Skeptical? Not sold? Need proof? Here are some numbers…

 

  • People click on web links 100-billion times per day
  • Five of the top 10 most visited websites are user-generated content sites that did not exist a couple of years ago
  • There are well in excess of 100-million accounts on MySpace – and growing at a rate of nearly 250,000 per day
  • 1 out of 8 couples married last year in the U.S. met online
